    I am not suggesting that people do not report bugs, but rather
    read the list before blind posting something which has been posted there
    50 times previously... perhaps I should have explained in a bit more
    detail.

    That is what I had hoped to avoid, I joined this list in the hopes the
    majority of the posts would be the discussion of the implementation of
    new hardware drivers, software ideas and protocols, I did not realize that
    the majority of the discussion was "Please help me fix this", I admit to
    being a bit brash in my comments, but I still believe that most had
    understood that I was pleeding that one reads their current Inbox to see
    if someone else has already posted this before creating a duplicate entry.

    Sincerely,
